Opéra de Feu

Interactive Installations

Installations Interactives

For the 150th anniversary of Deauville, Pascal Dusapin and Group F imagined a pyrotechnical show where the firing and the explosion of fireworks generate music built around excerpts from opera, electronic music and voice.

We developed the GUI and logic between the firing pattern of Group F and electroacoustic device designed by Thierry Coduys and Romain Vuillet.

Our role in this project:
• to control the music by the realistic simulation of fireworks (rise time, duration of explosion ...) and their interface with music softwares
• to sublimate fires with a graphical representation projected in real time during the show
• to offer the public a new sensory experience in a fireworks show

To undertake this work, we adapted and contributed to the powerful open source sequencer IanniX. Our efforts were focused on the graphical representation (aesthetics of the fire), ergonomics (live use) and performance of the software (343,300 trajectories controls, sounds, settings of 20 minutes of show).
